I don't pay attention to the Olympics, but I do watch the swimming if it's on because it's one of the 2 sports on Earth I somewhat care about. Phelps isn't just getting medals, he's breaking records, as he just showed in his 400 IM.

I kind of find it stupid that they spend forty billion dollars on this stadium and ceremony. That money could have been spend in much, much, better ways. But the ceremony was pretty cool...

Also, can anyone help me find a schedule for the olympics? The NBC schedule is wrong, it said 10:00 for fencing, and guess what happened at 10? NO FENCING, JUST BLEEDIN' SWIMMING! (No offense Bonn) Stipid schedule. Anyone know a way to find schedules?

the opening ceremony was amazing, especially the lighting of the torch.

Did anyone notice how when they lifted that guy up on the cables and tilted him so that he could run sideways he almost dropped the torch? Seriously though, he is probably the only person ever to run around the ceiling of an arena sideways. It was like watching Super Mario Galaxy.

The irony of the fact that his name was Li Ning was not lost on me, either.

Ceiling, Li Ning. Leaning, Li Ning. LOLETH.

And that would be awesome if he dropped the torch and it landed on a fat lady's head, and she screamed and then slammed into a wall.
